A man with suspected links to Melbourne’s mafia has been shot dead in an ambush on his driveway as he was going to work, with police on high alert for revenge attacks. The man, whom other news publications have named as John Peter Latorre, was found just after 4.30am on Tuesday outside a home in Buchanan Pl, Greenvale, about 20km north of Melbourne. Latorre, a fruit and vegetable wholesaler, is reported to have links to Melbourne’s Italian mafia.
Also a fruiterer, he was jailed for more than a decade in 2009 for blackmailing business rivals and squeezing them for hundreds of thousands of dollars. An inquest in 2007 found Vincent Latorre had either killed or aided in the death of 20-year-old Rocco Iaria, whose body was found dumped in an occupied grave. Police are yet to formally identify the man, but Travaglini said potential gang links to the shooting would form part of the investigation.
